Vundo variant hijacks winlogon, blocks and disables automatic updates, root kit dropper with multiple outbound tcpip connections.... sbsd can not remove this.... saymantec fuxvundo can't remove this, mcaffee can't remove this, safe mode can't remove this... it's attacked to winlogon under notify... teatimer doesn't even scan this reg tree so I can't load teatimer in safe mode and walk through and kill the registry entries that WONT DIE...
dll can't be renamed...
hijackthis can't be downloaded because a very official looking window says "windows has identified this program as potentially harmfull and blocked access to it" poof, it's gone.... same with anything I try and download, INCLUDING windows malicious software removal tool... any windows update.... it's all blocked...
ARRRRRGGGHHHH x10
now what? is there a way, so set the registry to BYPASS winlogon and just load command.com or cmd.exe so I can delete the file then reboot into safe mode command prompt and re-run sbsd?
note: sbsd identifies the file every time, even though it keeps changing it's name and CLSID...
"tasklist /m *" shows me the dll('s)... they always havre goofy name and are attached to iexplore, explorer, and winlogon... all three will have the same one attached, as well as iexplore will have 1-3 more... the names are random in appearance.... I've tried adding the CLSID into the BLOCKED section, but apparently when it exits, it takes steps to protect it self with registry monitoring and morphing dll name and CLSID...
any suggestions? (i'm sending this from a different ;read; non-infected, computer)

Nope, it's hooked in there too... as soon as I tried to run it, I got the popup.
and a bit of judicious scripting, I was able to detatch the DLL from winlogon and re-write the winlogon notify section of the registry to elimitinate it on startup... sbsd and mcaffee were both able to complete without popups (mcaffee I had scan only sys32 & restore to remove the immediate threat, a more thourough scan to follow) wish me luck on a networked reboot... not sure if iexplore will pull in one of it's buddies when I try and download this, but we'll see if I can avoid a reboot, it won't be able to hook back into winlogon, and it will be a child proc of explorer so I can taskkill /f/t/s and it should kill that and everything associated as a child of explorer (including any mal dlls/bhos)... wish me luck..
this is the one right here that I could not unload
